INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

1.5 tbsp almond flour

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 large egg

1 tsp avocado oil

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 oz part-skim mozzarella cheese

1.5 cup zucchini noodles

1 tsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• 2

  Place the chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to an even half-inch thickness.

• 3

  Set up two shallow bowls: in the first, whisk the egg; in the second, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Dip the chicken breast into the egg wash, then dredge it through the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating on all sides.

• 5

  Heat the avocado oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

• 6

  Sear the chicken for 3 minutes per side until the coating is golden and crispy.

• 7

  Spread the marinara sauce over the top of the chicken and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.

• 8

  Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.

• 9

  While the chicken bakes, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles in a separate pan for 2 minutes until tender but not mushy.

• 10

  Serve the crispy chicken over the zucchini noodles and garnish with freshly chopped basil.
